Mustache jumpscare 0:00

We’ve now entered Alex’s mustache era, folks

I'm not even a Christian but I love hearing Bart's enthusiastic Jesus chat. Good job with the questions you really got him going 😂 great guy.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who felt the immediate urge to comment on his mustache.

I love how more comments are about his glorious stache than they are about the actual discussion

For a cosmic skeptic, you’re not skeptical enough of that 80s cop mustache! (Thanks for having Bart Ehrman again).

Alex is the most british-sounding french guy

Never clicked a video so fast. Almost as fast as Judas betrayed Jesus

I love the setting. The apartment, the greenery... absolutely amazing. And the actual content was awesome as well. Episodes with Ehrman are one of the best and the gnostic gospels seem to have a much cooler lore lol

Commenting at 6.48, will carry on, but just thought how funny it would be if every time we cut back to Alex his hair gets wilder and moustache a bit heavier. 😊 Love this channel and Alex's amazing work.

Christians with the canonical gospels: "These are all true and written by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John within decades of Jesus being crucified!" Christians with non-canonical gospels: "Those are apocrypha! You don't even know who wrote them and they were written long after the crucifixion!"

Alex with a stache looks remarkably similar to how I've always pictured Ivan Karamazov. Keep it, sir.

What's with the Gomez Addams moustache?

Sir Oswald Mosley has entered the chat

My dude the production on this video is NICE

This should be spicy. Let's see how it went in about 2 hours.

oh wow. i love this set up. i've recently rewatched bart's interviews so this is great !!!

just read the Last Temptation(novel) got me interested in Judas. cant wait to listen to this podcast

I love listening to Bart Ehrman, but one thing that does not make sense is to first argue that Jesus went to Jerusalem not expecting to be killed and then arguing a minute later that Judas became disillusioned with Jesus because he was talking about being crucified. If Jesus came to Jerusalem not expecting to be killed, why would he talk about being crucified? It seems that Bart Ehrman is dismissing a part of the Bible story only to then use that Bible story to explain Judas' motivation. If you want to argue that Judas was disappointed, what would be more plausible is to say that Jesus went to Jerusalem, not expecting to be arrested and killed. Judas expected that going to Jerusalem meant that the revolution was about to get underway and once he realized Jesus did not intent to start an uprising, Judas was disillusioned and went to the authorities to get Jesus arrested.
